Latest Reviews	Great SKIL saw at a super price! Rating: 5 This is a great name-brand circular saw for an excellent price. The price includes the blade for this SKIL saw. Some of the other brands do not include the blade - yes, really. It is easy to handle and work with - working on my back deck. I would recommend it. by Diana on 2020-10-24T17:00:00 Great cut, affordable price Rating: 5 Great saw and great price! Out of the box worked like a gem, attach the blade and go. Laser was a good feature. Would recommend Skil everytime for circular saws by on 2020-10-04T17:00:00 Design features Rating: 5 The new design takes left handed crafts persons into consideration. The laser feature is great and the notches in the front of the shoe keeps the saw on the line for us that had problems with that in the past. The shaft lock make it very easy to remove and replace the blade. by on 2020-06-25T17:00:00 Great Product!! Rating: 5 I bought this saw mainly because I was in a pinch and my old battery-powered saw burned out on me. But this thing is impressive! I've worked with the older 15amp and this new smaller model is way more powerful! For a DIYer like me or a handyman type guy its a perfect saw. Plus a 5 year warranty. Highly recommend. by Matthew on 2020-04-23T17:00:00 Great Saw! Rating: 5 Excellent buy on this saw. Only thing I had to do out of the box was attach the saw blade. It cut beautifully right out of the box. No real set-up required. I recommend this to anyone needing a good circular saw. by on 2020-08-08T17:00:00 Great so far Rating: 5 Completed my project without any fuss. Can't say for longevity as of yet, but so far I am thoroughly impressed with the Skil brand Circ saw. Great features you aren't likely to find on a saw in this price range.Perfect for a weekend Diy'er. by Nick Jackson on 2020-05-27T17:00:00 Skilsaw Rating: 5 Great saw at a great price. I am using this saw mainly with my Kreg Rip-Cut and Accu-Cut jigs and it makes breaking down plywood panels fast and easy. by GeorgeP on 2020-03-28T17:00:00 Excellent saw at a good price Rating: 4 So far I am very satisfied with the saw. It is powerful enough to handle any job but light enough to be easily maneuvered. I haven't used the laser much but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. I like the trigger safety switch. If the saw included a blade break, I would have given 5 stars. Included blade cuts well. by on 2020-09-05T17:00:00 Skil saw w/laser Rating: 4 Nice saw, balance good, no dust collection adaption on saw and laser is 1/16 inch off line out of box. Bought to replace 25 year old Skil (still works), mainly bought for laser. by on 2020-08-04T17:00:00 Replacement saw Rating: 4 Great saw. Been using SKIL for a while now and needed to replace an older circ saw from another brand and this one fit the bill. My only concern was that it didn.t come with a lefty option but hey not many do! by Mojo Low on 2020-08-10T17:00:00	GREAT PRODUCT !!! Rating: 5 This little tool is perfect for my deck railings install since the deck is already done. Cutting the access holes for the railing posts will be so much easier with this tool.Since I had the batteries already I was able to save a little money with just buying the "tool only" option. The power is there when I need it and the design and compact size makes it less tiresome to use than other saws. by WORX4REALZ on 2020-02-15T16:00:00 Love it! Love it! Love it! Rating: 5 I bought this to saw fence boards. I am an 110 lb woman. Love this thing. In no time flat the board was up. Can't wait to use it for other jobs [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by jules32654 on 2017-11-27T16:00:00 Light and easy to use Rating: 5 I cut 2 short 2x6 board to fix the deck. I used it to cut through drywall and also to cut drapery metal rods. All from a chair. It makes being disabled easier by kgirl on 2017-12-19T16:00:00 Great features, Rating: 5 I bought this saw several months ago and just used it for the first time and it was the best circular saw that I have ever used! It cut straight and was easy to use! by Rlgmag817 on 2019-05-13T17:00:00 Fantastic product Rating: 5 Easy to use. Handy and compact. I use it for almost all my cutting. Don't have to drag out the cords, love it. by jackpot1 on 2019-05-28T17:00:00 Handy for Small Depth Cutting Projects. Rating: 5 This tool is ideal for cutting projects that require 1" or less in depth to cut. It is very portable, comfortable, and easy to maneuver while using. by KWBPhD on 2017-09-25T17:00:00 Easy to handle Rating: 5 Wife bought this for me at Xmas and glad she did. So light weight and easy to use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] by maurer49 on 2019-05-03T17:00:00 No Laser Rating: 4 Like the saw. Only problem is the your description picture shows a laser. What I received didn't have one. by Bucatini on 2019-02-06T16:00:00 BATTERY NOT INCLUDED Rating: 2 I think its sad that this tool did NOT come with a battery or charger. So until I can afford the expensive parts I cannot use the tool. I wont purchase Worx again for that reason. by Ljones on 2020-06-23T17:00:00 Not what I expected Rating: 1 I bought this to help cut some 2X4's and the blade was not big enough. I guess I didn't see the blade depth when I originally purchased it. I returned it for a refund and that was very smooth I called and was sent a return label and now waiting for the refund by Cha5432 on 2017-09-10T17:00:00
